Why I Choose this Book
THIS book. Awww! My happy little heart doesn't even know where to start. I grew up adoring this book so crazy much that as soon as I found out my best friend was expecting her first child I had to buy it for her new little one. And... I also bought a copy to add to my library in case I ever have kids of my own... Or just to read it even if I don't have any kids.
What I Thought about this Book
The illustrations are superb even though only every seventh page or so is colored in. Those colored in pages though? My eyes could feast on them for hours. They are filled with soft colors and remind me of milkshakes and cotton candy and hanging out laundry on a warm summer day. (That might sound weird to you, just imagine happiness and that's what these pictures are.)
So, pretty much the book would be ranking up there pretty high, even without words, then the words come in and blow this story out of the water. I normally don't like this style of story, so maybe it was that I grew up reading it, but this is one of my favorite books and I've read it and re-read it so many times that I lost track long ago.
It's books like this one that helped inspire my love for reading and writing and propelled me along the path to become an author.
Conclusion
I only have good stuff to say about this book. Thank you, Dawn L Watkins, for writing it!
Rating
I'm giving A King for Brass Cobweb five stars and recommend it to pretty much anyone although it is geared toward kids.
